Doug Flutie played only two seasons for the Argos but what two seasons they were. Two Grey Cup victories. Two Most Outstandings Player Awards. The two greatest passing seasons in Argos history on the most dominant Argos team. He has to be the quarterback on this team.

How do you have an all-time Argos team without Pinball Clemons? But how do you leave Hall of Famers Shatto or Joe Krol off the team? So here is my compromise, the legends Krol and Shatto are the running backs (with Gilchrist losing out on The Flutie Rule). We'll fit Pinball in somewhere else.

The first pick here is easy. Terry Greer is a slam dunk, the best Argos wideout ever. The second choice, not so much. You could pick Copeland, even though this wasn't really his position in the '40s and '50s. You could pick Masotti, who was more dependable than spectacular. You could pick Taylor, at least I could, because I loved his feisty game. But in the end, you can't ignore Copeland's Hall of Fame credentials so I place him alongside Greer.

A quick declaration of bias: Mel Profit is my all-time favourite Argo. A second declaration: It is difficult to choose between tight ends (now extinct in the CFL) and slotbacks, who are the statistically dominant. So to deal with that, I will pick one tight end and one slotback. Profit at tight end; the slotback comes down to Mookie Mitchell, Darrell K. Smith or Arland Bruce and if this was three years from now, the answer probably would be Bruce. Today, we'll go with Mitchell and Profit and wish we could pick a third.

Noah Jackson's best years were spent blocking for Walter Payton in Chicago. So we'll go with longevity and pedigree and select Hall of Fame member Bill Zock from the '30s and '40s and future Hall member Dan Ferrone.

Bill Frank would be the quick pick if he had played more than four seasons of his 15 CFL seasons here. Instead, we'll take Danny Nykoluk's 204 games and pair him with Chris Schultz, who managed to play 124 games in between about 124 knee operations.

Noel Prefontaine is probably the best combination of kicker/punter the Argos have ever had. But that's not what's being asked for here. Here, he is up against the best punter, maybe best ever, in our choice, Hank Ilesic.
